It’s that time of the year again when I need to think about conferences.  This year I am hoping to attend YAPC::NA in Florida.  The deadline for talk submissions is February 15th – which seems earlier than previous years – and I have just submitted my talk proposal.  I wasn’t able to attend YAPC::EU last year and I’m not sure if I will make it this year.  But YAPC::EU takes place in Sofia towards the end of August and the talk submission deadline is the 1st July – so I have time to decide.
